"...Aim for the limelight
You are not likely to be happy hiding your light under a bushel.
You are intensely individualistic, and need to express yourself and be
appreciated by
those around you. For this reason you should put your energy behind your
imaginative and intuitive gifts, and aim high enough to ensure that you
can find a place where you can feel, and be seen as, special. This might
be in the world of the arts, where your rich imagination could be put
to work in many possible channels. Certain spheres of business could attract
you if the work requires imagination, ingenuity, creative thinking, and
a willingness to speculate or gamble on what is new and innovative. You
have a constant fertile flow of ideas which need to be taken seriously,
although sometimes you have so many ideas that you need to discriminate
and put them to the test in practical terms. The worst thing you could
do is take a job where you are bored, uninspired, and expected to fit
into a highly structured institution or hierarchical company setup...
"...Your life is what you make of it
You are the sort of person who, when faced with a tight job market
and poor economic conditions, simply thinks of something original and
creates his or her own path into the future. You are a true adventurer,
with a self-sufficient nature and a dislike of being obligated to anyone.
You want to make your own way in life, and the tougher the challenge,
the better. You may not be flamboyant about your love of independence;
but whether you are introverted or put everything in the shop window for
all to see, you love the feeling that you have encountered a hard obstacle
and turned it into an opportunity. If you have tried to "fit in" to more
collective working environments in large companies or institutions, you
have probably met with many difficulties. You are not really suited to
this kind of co-operative work situation. You can be fair and generous
in your attitude toward colleagues, but it is difficult for you to conform,
and even more difficult for you to accept a structure or work ideology
imposed on you by others..."
"...Determination to succeed through your own efforts
You also have a lot of courage, and might do well to seek areas of work
where you have to face difficult challenges or stiff competition. A good
battle gets your adrenaline going and you don't enjoy winning too easily;
you want an opponent who
will do you honour by equalling your own abilities and strength. You probably
enjoy independent projects, where you can come up with an idea, follow
it through according to your own design, and present the results after
having had to work hard to achieve them. Interference from others can
rouse you to great anger, for you believe you know the right way to do
things and do not tolerate anyone breathing down your neck when you are
working. Make sure you find a place where you can have this kind of independence,
and where your mind is challenged. If you are a more physical sort of
person, competitive sport might suit you; if you are a more intellectual
type, debate might also suit you. To get the best from your high levels
of energy and determination, you need a fitting opponent, whether this
is a group, an ideology, or an individual in the work place who has wronged
you or others, or whose stupidity has caused problems. Try to avoid putting
yourself in a position where your work gives you no stimulation and no
challenge. Best of all, create independence in your working life. Many
people fear the instability of being self-employed, but it is probable
that you would thrive on the challenge..."
"...The spirit of the lone adventurer
You have a very adventurous spirit which is attracted to difficult
challenges - especially those which you must meet on your own, through
drawing on your individual resources and abilities. You can be quite ferociously
independent,
and you may experience some conflict with authority if you work within
a large organisation - unless you are running it yourself. But even such
a position of dominance may feel limiting because you would still have
to deal with employees and with the "red tape" of bureaucracy. You want
to be out on the mountain peaks fighting the elements alone, metaphorically
if not literally. If you are a physical type, you might enjoy living this
adventurous spirit out through sport or athletics, especially those challenges
which require you to battle the elements. If you are more introverted,
you still need to engage in battles with what you deem to be inimical
to your values and ideals. You need an independent profession in which
you can choose the size and frequency of those battles, and gain in confidence
each time you feel you have won...
"...Born to lead, not to follow
You are quite able to recognise excellence in others and admire
or even try to copy it. But you are intolerant of anyone attempting to
tell you what to do, especially if you have little respect for that person
or sense that the surface of authority masks a mean or hypocritical spirit
beneath. You like to go your own way and muster your own crusade, and
you do not really mind if there is no train of followers behind you. It
is the challenge that exhilarates you, and the stimulating sense of creative
power when you have to initiate something from your own creative resources..."
"...You can't achieve everything by yourself
Your chief limitation, in terms of work, arises from your greatest
strength: your insistence on doing everything yourself. Your independence
is a positive attribute which gives you the capacity to go it alone and
create the kind of working life you wish. It also allows you to work at
projects with the minimum
of help and advice, and this makes you able to take the initiative and
assume considerable authority in your work. But you may sometimes be too
proud to accept help when it is offered, and may make things harder for
yourself than is necessary. Others' generosity does not always carry a
price tag, and you may need to remember that there will always be times
when you must turn to others for support or advice or expertise in order
to further your own goals. Your insistence on autonomy can also make it
hard for you to delegate work if you have employees; you may feel, deep
down, that no one can do it as well as you yourself can, and you could
deprive others of the chance not only to develop their own abilities but
also to help you. Pride can sometimes be a virtue, but it can also be
a real handicap if it gets in the way of common sense and the capacity
to relate to other humans in your working life..."
"...Needing to be in charge
You can be a stalwart support to colleagues who need your help
and advice, and you are always willing to take on difficult tasks on behalf
of those who are unable to do this themselves. Your working relationships
are therefore likely to be mainly a "one- way street", because all the
giving is on your side, and all the taking is done by others. In some
ways this suits you, because you don't like to feel dependent, and prefer
to make your own decisions and accept the consequences of your own mistakes
as well as the rewards of your own successes. However, there may be times
when this role becomes somewhat burdensome and you long for greater equality
between you and your colleagues and co-workers. Yet this equality may
be hard to create once you have established a pattern of being the "strong"
one who doesn't need others' help. Your pride may make it difficult for
you to let others know you are sometimes indecisive and unsure, and your
determination to remain without obligations can make other resentful that
they cannot offer support themselves. Over time, you may find yourself
trapped in a pattern which you yourself have created, but which you may
find very hard to undo..."
"...What Success Really Means to You
For you, success cannot really be measured in material terms. You feel
most alive, and know that your life has a sense of meaning and purpose,
only if you are pursuing your quest for a more inclusive world-view, and
if you are sharing what you discover with others who, like yourself, are
on a similar path. You have a natural propensity
to see life as a journey and to understand your experiences as sources
of learning and growth; and this is an intuitive and instinctive mode
of perception - it is not dependent on any special philosophy or religious
or spiritual perspective. At heart you are not only a perennial student,
but also an educator - not of facts and disconnected pieces of information,
but in the sense that Plato meant the term. The Latin word educare means
"to lead forth", and education in this deeper sense is about inspiring
a vision of order and meaning through discovering the connections between
different systems of knowledge. Your tendency to see life as a quest may
mean that traditional educational structures could leave you feeling dissatisfied,
as though some essential knowledge has been left out. Although you would
benefit from the best education possible, you will probably discover your
own truths through your own learning process. Your mind is inquiring and
restless, and you are likely to outgrow whatever values, beliefs and perceptions
you acquired from your family and national background..."

Name: Al Gore Short Biography American politician, an attractive spokesman for the Democratic party with a famous political name, an unimpeachable family life, religious ties and a broad base of Southern support. The only son of a powerful U.S. Senator from Tennessee, Albert Gore, Sr. and Pauline LaFon Gore, a graduate of Vanderbilt Law School who campaigned as a helpmate with her husband, Al grew up with political and social awareness. He received a degree in government with honors from Harvard University in 1969. After graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Army. Gore met Mary Elizabeth Aitcheson, nicknamed "Tipper," at his high school senior prom. They dated while he was in Harvard and she was working on her psychology degree from Boston University. They married on 5/19/1970, at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, before he shipped out for Vietnam. Returning to civilian life, Gore settled in Tennessee and attended Divinity School while working nights as a newspaper reporter in Nashville. He and Tipper bought the farm they still call home in Carthage, TN in 1973, the same year their first child was born. He had experience as an investigative reporter, home builder and land developer, livestock and tobacco farmer. Gore went into politics in 1976 when he was elected to represent Tennessee in the U.S. House of Representatives. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1984, and when re-elected in 1990, he became the first statewide candidate in modern history to carry all 95 Tennessee counties. Liberal on domestic issues, moderate on defense, he is pursuing the family political dream as established by his dad, serving four terms in Congress and eight years in the Senate. Making a run for the oval office in 1988, he won Democratic primaries and caucuses in seven states. The Gore family increased with the addition of four kids, Karenna, born on 8/06/1973, Kristin, 6/05/1977, Sarah, 1/07/1979, and Albert III, 10/19/1982. In April 1989, Gore took his six-year-old son, Albert III, to watch a baseball game. The boy ran into traffic and was hit by a car and thrown 30 feet, suffering massive internal injuries. His legs and ribs were broken and his internal organs crushed. For a harrowing month, Al and Tipper barely left their son's hospital bedside and one of them slept beside him for the next three months. His recovery took months of extensive surgery and therapy. With family counseling, they learned to put more emphasis on partnership and teamwork. Gore had to deal with his parental feelings that he should have been better able to protect his son. Having had just recently failed his 1988 presidential nomination, he had to reevaluate his political directions as well as what his family meant to him. He decided against another political run in 1992, pulling away from public life to put more time into the strength and solidarity of his family. They go to church on Sunday, and in the evenings all get together for a group dialogue to "get their needs out on the table." Together with Tipper, Al Gore is one of the strongest voices for America's families and their policy puts a stronger emphasis on fatherhood, increases flexibility for parents in the workplace and gives parents more control over the information that comes into their home. Named as Bill Clinton's running mate at the Democratic convention 7/13/92, he was elected in the November contest and sworn in 1/20/1993, 11:44:40 AM EST, Washington, DC. The pair were re-elected to a second term in 1996 and sworn in on 1/20/1997. Together, they have led the country into a period of sustained economic growth marked by new jobs and the lowest combined rate of unemployment, inflation and mortgage rates in 28 years. In mid-March 1999, Gore once more hit the campaign trail, stumping for the presidential nomination in Iowa. On 3/07/2000, he defeated his opponent in the primaries, Bill Bradley, to become the Democratic candidate for president, running against Republican George W. Bush. Al Gore accepted his Party's nomination at the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles on 8/16/2000, 7:14 PM PDT. Elections were held on 11/07/2000, leading to one of the most dramatic and confusing contests ever witnessed. When the issue of uncounted ballots finally went to the Supreme Court, the conclusion was upheld that Bush was the winner by a number of several hundred votes. |
